Despite further currency weakness affecting EU sales, as reported in US$, consolidated annual sales increased by 27.8% when compared to sales recorded in the previous year, with significant strength seen from our US based Orbital Satcom Corp division which recorded a 58.5% year on year increase in sales revenue. The Company also achieved considerable growth in airtime sales, with an annual increase of 52% recorded for the sale of recurring revenue and prepaid airtime contacts.

Continued global demand for the Company's products resulted in an increase in its international customer base as our global online presence produced orders from customers located in more than 125 countries around the world. We provided critical connectivity to numerous customers during the aftermath of several natural disasters, provided satellite communications to a renowned round the world yacht race, secured several significant and recurring revenue contracts for lone worker tracking products, and met the needs of thousands of other customers around the world requiring voice or data connectivity via satellite during the year.

On May 31, the Company raised $546,694 from existing investors through the issuance and sale of Series J convertible preferred stock to support continued international expansion, additional product lines and increase inventory levels.

The Company secured majority shareholder vote for a reverse split at a ratio of 1 for 150 which became effective on March 8, 2018, increasing its efforts towards a NASDAQ uplisting.

Commenting on the Company's results, David Phipps, its Chief Executive Officer, said, “Despite the many challenges the Company faced during 2017, operating with limited working capital, we were able to achieve continued financial growth as we made further progress on executing some of our many initiatives. We experienced a strong demand for Mobile Satellite Solutions (MSS), including a number of new product lines, from a diverse range of new and existing corporate, individual, reseller and government customers. Other than short term vendor payables, the Company remains debt free and has seen only a minimal increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during a high growth period during the past three years. Subject to sufficient working capital during 2018, the unavailability of which negatively affected our desire to aggressively pursue our major goals during 2017, we intend to continue launching new products, expand into new markets and open additional storefronts and sales offices in 2018.”
